Lily lay curled up in Mallow’s belly, safely tucked away alongside the dragoness’ latest meal as it digested. It had been another normal day- at least their version of normal- and now that the sun had disappeared over the mountains the two of them were preparing to go to sleep.
Mallow’s stomach, of course, made the perfect place for young Lily to spend the night. Warm and soft and completely protected from any of the creatures that prowled the forests in the dark. The dragoness in turn was curled up on the grass beneath a few trees, settling in for a good night’s rest.
As Mallow drifted off into sleep, she began to dream…
…
Mallow became aware of a smell, a familiar, delectable, enticing smell. She looked upwind and saw Lily sitting idly nearby. Her stomach growled strongly, and she subconsciously ran her tongue along her teeth. The girl had always tasted so sweet… The dragoness took a few steps toward her.
“Mallow?” Lily said with a hint of concern. The dragoness looked at her with hungry eyes, eyes she had seen before, but Mallow had never pointed them at her. There was a moment of silence as the air grew heavy. A small bit of drool escaped the dragoness’ mouth. Lily shifted her gaze to it for a split second, and the second she broke eye contact, Mallow lunged at her.
The dragoness snapped the little girl up in her jaws and quickly began rolling her around on her tongue. Savoring the brilliant taste she had tasted dozens of times. But this time she made sure to soak up every last bit.
“Mallow! What are you doing!?”
Mallow heard Lily call from within her maw. She hadn’t been particularly rough by dragon standards, but the girl must have felt something was off.
“I’m going to eat you, one final time,” the dragoness replied between licks.
“What!?” Lily cried. The way Mallow had been working her with her tongue must have convinced her she was telling the truth, because the girl started to fight back and struggle against the red, squirming mass.
There wasn’t much she could do of course, and the tasting continued until Mallow’s tongue began to grow tired and the sweet flavor in her mouth had long faded. She relaxed her maw, readying herself for the next step.
“Mallow… please… don’t…” She heard Lily call.
Mallow closed her eyes and took a long, slow swallow. She felt the familiar form pass into her throat as the girl started to scream. She passed Lily along slowly, taking plenty of time to savor the feeling of her body held tight within the bulge of her neck. The girl struggled as best she could, but all that did was further entice and enhance the experience of her sliding down towards her final destination. The dragoness practically purred in satisfaction.
But all too soon Mallow felt Lily approaching the end of the line. Going as slowly as she could, Mallow let the girl’s toes slip out of her esophagus, then the rest of her feet, then her legs.
“Mallow!!” She heard Lily cry as her midriff was let through, her feet now kicking in open air. The hungry stomach gurgled beneath her.
She heard Lily scream as the girl undoubtably felt herself being released, free to fall into Mallow’s belly once and for all. Lily felt herself begin to drop and squeezed her eyes shut tight, for a moment she was in a complete freefall. But when her scream suddenly ended, it wasn’t with a splash, but a wet splat.
Mallow felt the girl land in her familiar little pouch. She was so close to the dragoness’ digestive abyss; it would be so easy to just push her over… but not yet. She let the girl catch her breath for a second.
“Don’t you want to watch me eat, one more time?” the dragoness asked.
Mallow didn’t wait for or expect a response. She now held a tiny animal, a hare, in her claws. She carefully brought it up to her maw and swallowed it whole, tracing its progress down into her belly. She felt Lily stir and knew she could hear it coming. As the morsel passed from her throat and fell into her stomach, she imagined Lily watching it fall, looking over the lip of her pocket to see it disappear into the depths of her innards- melted away, just like she was about to be.
Mallow felt her stomach churning violently, startlingly eager to welcome the girl one final time into its furthest reaches. The dragoness started contracting the child’s pouch, and immediately Lily began to scramble again. The hungry dragon, eyes closed, could hear her cries clearly as she was pushed closer to the edge.
“Mallow!! No!!”
“You’re all mine… my little snack,” Mallow said quietly.
And then she felt Lily fall. As soon as the girl’s feet left her flesh, she squeezed her stomach inwards tightly- desperate to feel her form as it dissolved within her, finally joining the countless meals she had watched the dragoness consume. For a few moments, she could vaguely feel Lily’s body against the walls of her belly, mixed with the thick goop of her digestive juices… And then there was nothing.
Nothing… She had done it, she had taken her little snack all the way, and now she was gone- digested. Lily was… Lily was- LILY!
…
Mallow’s eyes shot open as she woke with a jolt. Her mind a blur, she desperately felt around her insides, on the verge of panic. She froze as she came across the familiar form of Lily, sleeping safe and soundly in her little pouch. The dragoness’ whole body relaxed, her claws leaving behind ruts in the dirt.
She was so relieved… For a moment she had been terrified that she had actually… No, she would never do that to Lily- definitely not. Mallow cradled the girl tightly within her, and she felt Lily lightly place a hand on the comforting flesh.
“I love you,” the dragoness said quietly. She reluctantly closed her eyes again, unsure if she could fall back asleep, but she still held Lily tightly in her fold. There’s no way she’s ending up in there on my watch, she thought to herself.
